service

create

Signature

create(data, params)

Description

Normalizes a Keycloak event by computing and attaching an eventType string, then returns a success acknowledgement.

The eventType is built differently depending on data.eventClass:

• AdminEvent → AdminEvent.<operationType>.<resourceType> (e.g. AdminEvent.CREATE.USER)
• User event → <eventClass>.<type> (e.g. Event.LOGIN)

After this method runs, registered after hooks receive the mutated data object (with eventType set) and can act on it accordingly.

Parameters

Name	Type	Required	Description
data	object	yes	The raw Keycloak event payload.
params	object	yes	The FeathersJS service call parameters.

Returns

Type	Description
Promise<object>	Always resolves with { success: true } on success.

Examples

// Admin event input
await app.service('keycloak-events').create({
  eventClass: 'AdminEvent',
  operationType: 'CREATE',
  resourceType: 'USER',
  resourcePath: 'users/abc-123',
  value: { username: 'john' }
})
// → data.eventType is set to 'AdminEvent.CREATE.USER' for after hooks

// User event input
await app.service('keycloak-events').create({
  eventClass: 'Event',
  type: 'LOGIN',
  userId: 'abc-123'
})
// → data.eventType is set to 'Event.LOGIN' for after hooks
